Look, I've never been the type of person that can just float, you know? Marcus, you're missing the point. Yeah, real story, but a metaphor, because it has nothing to do with your body mass. I understand that. I mean, I know what metaphors are. I was-- Do you? Do you? If it isn't Special Forces and special… stupid idiot. You're lucky you didn't hurt my dad's dog yesterday, 'cause if you did, I would've hurt you. Okay, Gabe. Is that right? Right? You gonna kick my ass? -You wanna go right here, right now? -I think he wants to. 'Cause we can do that. If I may. Gabe, it looks like you're trying to lead with a power jab. Let's get those hips in. Get warmed up-- Hey. What are you-- Hands off. Whoa! Okay, man. I'm just-- Listen, I'm not here to fight anyway. My father sent me here to collect the rings. I guess the best man is supposed to carry the rings, so that's why I'm here.

You know something? I'ma give these to my best man, but to my new best man, Ron. -Here you go, brother. -You mean it? -Can he do that? -No, he cannot do that. It's already been done. That's right. That's my best man right there. Marcus, this means… more to me than you'll ever know.

All right. They gone. You can give me the rings back. What? No. I-- You-- We just said-- What? No, no. That-- I was doing that in front of them. I'm actually gonna keep the rings, so you just give 'em back to me. Marcus, you made me your best man. That's that. Best man holds the rings. Yes, I know what "traditionally" the best man do-- You can't just say the best man holds the rings and then not let the best man hold the rings. I got you.

Well, Marcus, good to have you back. That sunstroke is no joke. So, people, stay hydrated with-- with water. The marshals are very strict when it comes to alcohol, wagering and profanity.

-Now we're on a championship course here. -[shaman chanting] So we are going to be keeping this club pristine. So, Gabe, uh, why don't you and Bennett play with Marcus and Ron today. Where's Ron anyway? Got your six, Captain. Ah, Lieutenant, good to see you. Hope you're comfortable in a foursome. As long as there's at least one girl involved.

What is that? A Corvette, pre-owned? -It's a Ferrari, you dipshit. -$250,000. -Bought her brand-new. -Boom. [imitates sizzle] [Gabe] Now, Marcus, I understand a hundred dollars a hole is a lot of green for a blue-collar worker, so if you need to back out, go ahead and do it now. -Fuck you. -Fuck you. -No, fuck you. -Fuck you again. No, kiss my-- You know? Let me holla at you real quick. Can you excuse us?

[Emily's mother] Jesus, I wish we had never hired this caterer. Now he's telling me that he's having trouble sourcing steaks for tomorrow night. I'm so sorry, but I do just have to go on record and say that I told you to go with Ford Fry. -You did not listen to me… -Brooke, please. Okay. [stammers] Guys, please, for me. Mom, I am super positive that the caterer will figure it all out. So for the next two hours, can we just not think about steak? -Yes, dear. -[whispering] Thank you. Wait, guys, steaks? I know a place that has amazing steaks. Ron and I just went there on our way here 'cause it's right down the block. Hal's in Buckhead? They were asking $300 a plate. Oh, no. Girl, this place is under ten. Damn, that's a steal. -What restaurant is this? -Oh, it's called Waffle House.

She's-- Whenever Ron and I are stressed or horny or I have trouble going number two-- Hey, Kyla. You know what? I think we're gonna just be here in this moment, enjoying the spa, relaxing. Yeah. Got you, Em. I swear I will stop talking, and we should get our Zen on, right? 'Cause that's why we're at the spa. [sighs]
